If you were expecting us to recommend a MacBook Air or a Samsung ATIV Book 9, we'll kindly refer you to our back to school Ultrabook buying guide. But while an ultraportable will suffice for web surfing, Netflixing and the occasional all-nighter, some students will still crave a little more. A little extra storage space, perhaps, or a discrete GPU to pull off smoother gaming. Or maybe y'all just want something cheaper than your standard Ultrabook. No shame in that either. Whatever it is, we've got a handful of choices for each budget.

Schoolbooks? What is this, the late 20th century?

Like reality show contestants who reinvent themselves as America's next top chef / model / crab fisher, tablets are entering a renaissance. In fact, while you probably couldn't complete your high-school essays on an iPad or Nexus 7, a slew of optional keyboards are turning slates into capable productivity devices. And as they increase in processing power, tablets are ever thinner and lighter, making it a breeze to schlep 'em around campus in your book bag. So, where to start? How about below, where we've selected nine devices that'll keep you busy before, during and after class.
